Distinguished from the bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) by the broadly attenuate (not rounded) base of the pine-cone, each scale of which has no terminal prickle or weak one to only 1 mm, and an amber color to the resin on the pinecone. This pine species epitomizes the many stately conifer tree species of the Sierra Nevada. Along the John Muir Trail, this pine tree is common from south of Mount Whitney in the New Army Pass area north to somewhere just north of Mather Pass. It was not observed north of the Le Conte Canyon area. This site is sits below Mount Guyot in the Guyot Creek drainage.
